If you’re sick of all the Will Smith/Chris Rock news from last weekend’s Oscars, here’s a totally different Oscar related story involving two people from Connecticut.
Christina and Raeann are two sisters in Glastonbury who started their own company, The Power to B bracelets. Last Sunday they were out in Hollywood providing some of their glitz and galmour to the stars!
During one of the pre-Oscar events on Sunday some of the celebs were rockin’ their designs. Including Viola Davis, Anthony Anderson and Jason Ritter.
The jewelry line has a empowering backstory too since they started the company after the both went through personal struggles with fertility.
Even better news… now because of all the buzz and popularity of the jewelry collection at the Academy Awards, The Power to B is going to get featured at the GBK Brand Bar boutique in West Hollywood! How cool is that?! Congrats ladies.
If you want to check them out you can see their jewelry at www.ThePowertoB.com or in Glastonbury at 81 Rankin Road.

We’ve all popped a few sheets of bubble wrap at one time or another, but what was it originally meant for? Bubble wrap was actually invented to be a 3-D wallpaper. Apparently no one liked the look becasue it never took off. But the guys who created the product still wanted to do something with it and quickly realized it might work well as packing material. The rest is history.
Now, throw your kids a few sheets of it next time they are getting on your nerves.

With all the drama surrounding the joke Chris Rock made about Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, many asked the same question… What is alopecia? Dr. Adrienne Haughton from Stony Brook Medicine has that info and answers Anna’s random urban legend about losing your hair every seven years. (The response is surprising!)
Anna has never found Netflix’s “Recommended For You” section very useful, until she realized she could use it to spy on her kids! (:30)
Mini-Vans are useful but they are not cool and if you say otherwise, that’s all I need to know about you! (2:52)
Basketball may not be your thing, but everyone is always excited about the latest trends! Anna and Raven present March Fadness, the ultimate tournament to determine the greatest fad of all time! Today’s second match-up is between; Crocs vs. Pokemon Go! (6:00)
Do you argue constantly with your teenager? Anna definitely does, so she spoke to Parenting Coach Erika Brunwasser about some great tips to improve communication! (13:19)
Have you ever invented your own snack? Anna read a list of the best unconventional snacks and she decided to try some of them on the air! (17:10)
Alopecia has become a buzzword after all the drama at the Oscars, but many people are confused about what the condition actually is. Anna invited Dermatologist Dr. Adrienne Houghton on to shed light on not only Alopecia but also many common hair loss myths. (28:24)
Anna’s got three crazy news stories and Raven’s going to pick one to talk about! Today his options are; an epic Teacher fail, the story of a creepy clown and a puppy, and a woman’s struggle to deal with never-ending deliveries! (32:22)
Tia’s 23-year-old brother (who she claims is very irresponsible) asked that she take in his dog because his new rental wouldn’t allow pets. Six months later, her children love the puppy but now he is moving and wants his dog back. She wants to tell him no, but her husband, Jason, says that it was his dog for three years, they have to give him back. What do you think? (35:47)
Tracy thinks she’s got what it takes to beat Raven win the record-breaking $4200 jackpot! Can she end Raven’s longest winning streak ever? (43:33)

Living here in Connecticut we are lucky to have so many great restaurants, breweries, vineyards, and places to go here in the states. One of them being Athletic Brewing Company in Stratford, who specializes in brewing non-alcoholic beer. They opened about 4 years ago and now are getting some national recognition.
They have been named one of TIME100’s Most Influential Companies of 2022! If you haven’t tried their beer before it’s really good and worth the trip.
